Stanford v. Kentucky, was a United States Supreme Court case in the year 1989 that sanctioned the imposition of the death penalty on offenders who were at least 16 years of age at the time of the crime.

The Supreme Court in the year 2005,while handling the Roper v. Simmons' case ruled that the death penalty is a disproportionate punishment for juveniles, and thus it violates the Eighth Amendment to impose a death sentence on a youthful murderer who committed the crime before age 18.

Christopher Simmons, who was 17 at the time, committed a crime that led to a death sentence.

The Court said that the society views juveniles as categorically less culpable than the average criminal. The supreme court argued than a man only becomes culpable of any criminal act when he reaches the age of 18, and claimed at imposing a death penalty on a young child who is not old enough to take charge of his own actions is wrong.

The supreme court claimed that a juvenile who committed a heinous crime can be made to forfeit his fundamental rights rather than being murdered.

Answer:

It was changed in Ropers v Simmons

Explanation:

• Stanford v Kentucky was a United States Supreme court case that authorized the imposition of death penalties to people who are 16 years and above at the time the crime was committed.

• Ropers v Simmons was a case in the U.S Supreme court which states that it was unconstitutional to enforce capital punishment for crimes committed while under 18 years. Christopher Simmons and his two friends murdered Shirley Cook and he confessed to committing the crime. The case was brought for trial and the appeal challenged the constitutionality of capital punishment for juveniles.

• The 5-4 decision in Ropers v Simmons overturned the decision in Stanford v Kentucky where offenders from 16 years were punished for crimes committed.

mote1985 [20]

"A person supported is arrested for slapping and kicking a store clerk during a  community activity."

This is assault, one party physically attacked the other.

Lets take a look at the options:

1. Allegation of abuse, neglect, or exploitation . This could be a possible answer, but read it carefully, "ALLEGATION." This means they where accused of abuse, in this case this is not a viable option because we know the attack happened.

2. Reportable Staff Misconduct.  Nope, the staff was attacked.

3. Reportable Medical Incident.  This is a medical incident because the clerk was attacked, but lets look at the other options.

4. Non-reportable Incident . No, this incident was reported to police and the suspect was arrested.

5. Criminal Conduct or Probable Criminal Conduct.  Yes, this is criminal conduct. The suspect was most likely arrested for felony assault, the victim experienced significant violence amounting to substantially more than a minor slap across the face or a punch in the jaw.

She believed that women's pursuit of social equality would hurt women living in sensitive situations. She believed it was unfair to equate young, wealthy, successful, white, healthy and educated women with poor, black, uneducated, old and sick women. She said that feminism did not think of women in delicate situations, who could not face the world and say that they have the same rights and duties as all of society.

What is the importance of intra-party elections to national elections​
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

An intra-party election is a primary election that aims to select which candidates will be nominated for the actual election within each political party. In American politics, primary elections are important, especially in the context of presidential elections.

Primary elections are held as ballots in individual states, where voters decide how many delegates at the party convention should vote for each of the party's candidates. The primary election generally begins with the small state of New Hampshire and continues in the other states until June, when the last elections are held.

After the last primary election is over, Democrats and Republicans will hold their national conventions. Delegations from all states participate here, where they officially elect their presidential candidate. Each state is represented here with several delegates who vote based on the outcome of their respective state's primary elections.
